Rejected petition Rename the common cold. The sniffles
Rejected on
Everyone knows what having a cold is but it aint what it actually sounds like. In reality when you have a cold you usually sniff alot so why not call it the sniffles. It would be much easier to understand what it is as well. I feel that itll benefit people now and for generations to come
